You don’t have to know the future to be secure in His future for you! That’s the most beautiful thing about God’s will—it is the only place we can really, truly rest. There should be no other option for any real believer…

Please remember that Jesus, in the NT, declared all foods cleaned meaning that these dietary laws were for a specific people at a specific time…. These laws were given to the children of Israel specifically, not to humanity in general.  Common sense is necessary here… 

Paul’s journeys never seemed to get easier. Corinth was such an evil city, although strategically an important one, that any ministry appeared to be doomed to fail. But God’s love and power is greater than man’s capacity to sin and God would eventually win out. 

Aaron’s sins had already been sacrificed for during the week. But the problem for Aaron—and for you and me—is that we continue to sin. Because God is going to appear to the Israelites in this chapter, it was necessary to insure that his sins during the week were atoned for. This is the inadequacy of the OT atonement process. Sin could be covered over but not forgiven completely. Thank God for grace…

This would be the first time Aaron was able to go into the tent and it happened under the watchful eye of Moses. Before God can (figuratively) appear to you, there must be separation to the Lord and obedience to His commands. No short-cuts for anyone…
